(unknown member): There is also another good reason for keeping all the art we have here here. Its called war. You can see online what IS and the Taliban do, so their people's culture would be safer were it in the UK, all of ity, rather than in Iraq, Syria or Afghanistan, and we now also have to control who is allowed to buy stuff as any number of artworks purchased privately not only disappear into bank vaults,

but can be bought by people who then destroy them as ideologically unacceptable.I dare say that is already happening, so stop sales and guard our human heritage.

What the hell do you know about Mexicans?

I wouldn't expect you to know any Texas history since you're a Eurocentric bigot, but the Republic of Texas was co-founded by Americans and Mexicans. We called ourselves Texans and Tejanos. The whites didn't come to Mexico and steal the land it was given to us. When the dictator Santa Ana subverted the Mexican constitution the fight was on. Many Tejanos fought alongside the Texans to protect the Republic of Texas from being taken back by Santa Ana's army.

Arguing with you losers in pointless. You aren't even making any sense.

Why don't you and RichRMA aka RichKKK go hang out out in the "whites only" section. There you can discuss why Britain is the only country that should be allowed control over the world's artwork.

OK "Amateur Snaps"? That moniker is enough to let me know you're an Epsilon-minus semi-moron at the most.

Hell, Britain can barely secure their borders let alone artworks. If ISIS came marching through the UK Cameron would be on the phone to Obama begging the USA for help as usual.

(unknown member): "On first use the filter needs about four hours of sunlight to create the hydrophilic characteristic"

What does that mean exactly? 4 hours of bright light on a sunny day? How long would it take on a cloudy day, for example in Iceland?And how long does it take on second and third use?

The ones in the night clubs aren't UV lights. Those are called black lights. UV light is invisible They basically operate like a regular lightbulb without a UV filter. The UV light creates heat which reptiles need to regulate blood temperature a black light is just a dark purple light that makes things glow.

You sound like a Nazi. "We MUST control ALL art from the non-whites. They will destroy it!"

(unknown member): hydrophobic |ˌhīdrəˈfōbik| adjectivetending to repel or fail to mix with water. The opposite of hydrophilic.

hydrophilic |ˌhīdrəˈfilik| adjectivehaving a tendency to mix with, dissolve in, or be wetted by water. The opposite of hydrophobic.

Presumably, they're trying to use it in the sense of being wetted by water ?

I would say hydrophilic. I don't know if you ever developed film yourself, but during the final rinse some people added Photo-Flo which prevented the water from the rinse from beading up on the negative while it dried. For lack of a better term it made water "wetter" allowing it to flow instead of bead up like water tends to do with a repellant.

Papi61: So, this is a British national pride issue. To hell with the FACT that the photographer was actually Swedish... Priceless.

But then again, these are the same people who used to claim that Egyptian obelisks and artifacts retrieved from archeological sites were rightfully theirs... (and even though they might have changed mind on that, I don't think they're going to return anything any soon...)

Just to be clear, I'm against all forms of stupid nationalism. Yeah, I'm perfectly aware that the latter is tautology... :)

Human art belongs to all humans, regardless of nationality.

@ Papi61: Of course the Nationalist Wye Photography doesn't advocate returning art to the rightful owner. Only the enlightened British white aristocracy knows what's good for the world's art!

Seeing ISIS going through that museum smashing 3000 year old artifacts with sledgehammers... Just awful.

@Wye Photography And likely saving your pansy asses while we're at it. You'd be speaking German if that traitorous Churchill hadn't killed your own people to convince the USA to enter WWII.

And if I recall, Britain is also engaged in this "war on terror" over in the Middle East murdering women and babies too. So don't get too proud about your country. They're always the first in line behind the USA.

And for what it's worth judging the whole of a nation's citizens by the actions of their politicians is completely ignorant.

prossi: Is it cheating if all the pictures are on steroids? And what does it even mean?Shouldn't HDR be considered as manipulation?

Well considering I'm not planning on gouging out Ansel Adams eyes, and I only said that HDR makes me WANT to gouge my eyes out not actually do it, I'm on a photography website, AND I'm NOT a terrorist, I'm not especially worried about the NSA kicking in my door.

Anyway, HDR is what I consider to be a form a photographic terrorism. Maybe ISIS could take out Stuck In Customs dot com?
